Study Notes

C-C One-Electron σ-Bond

  • Molecules with a C-C one-electron σ-bond are elusive due to the difficulty of achieving an optimal energy reversal between the HOMO of the neutral state and the SOMO of the radical cation state.
  • Electron-donating heteroatoms can help achieve this energy reversal.

HPE 1 Structure

  • HPE 1, a molecule with two spiro-dibenzocycloheptatriene (DBCHT) units, has an elongated Csp3-Csp3 single bond (1.806(2) Å at 400 K).
  • This elongated bond increases the HOMO level and results in a stepwise oxidation process.

X-ray Analysis of HPE 1

  • X-ray analysis of HPE 1 revealed an unsymmetrical bent-planar structure with a C-C one-electron σ-bond with a bond length of 2.921(3) Å.
  • The structure deviates from the typical planar conformation of a pimer composed of cationic and radical moieties or molecules.
  • The observed structural difference is intrinsic and reproducible, confirmed by analyzing several single crystals of HPE 1 and its dication.

Raman Spectroscopy

  • Raman spectroscopy confirms the presence of the C-C one-electron σ-bond by detecting a vibrational mode at 379 cm-1.
  • This mode represents the symmetric vibration of the C-C one-electron σ-bond.

Synthesis of Dication Salt 12+(I3-)2

  • Dication salt 12+(I3-)2 is synthesized by reacting HPE 1 with iodine in dry CH2Cl2.
  • The resulting suspension is dried under reduced pressure to yield a dark violet solid.
